Thread Name: BS: Health Insurance RANT!!!!!
Subject: RE: BS: Healtrh Insurance RANT!!!!!
I've seen it from both sides...

When my late wife, Judy, was working for Xerox, we had great health insurance and it was very reasonable... Like our contribution was less than $200 a month and the deductible was low...

Now we are paying close to $1000 a month for just the P-Vine and me and both of us are healthy... Our deductible is $1000 each and our copays are almost as much as seeing a doctor witout insurance... Plus, if either of us ever need the insurance, the company can drop us??? Now that ougtta be criminal...

The current system is so terribluy screwed up... Probably the most screwed up of any developed nation in the world... Probably??? No, it definately is the most screwed up, corporate protecting, system of them all...

It make me sick just thinking about it... I mean, 1/4th of our income now goes to pay an insurance company for absolutrley nothing other than knowing that if we get sick they can drop us... Like I said, that ought to be criminal...
